Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 Turkey thighs
  • ½ teaspoon Garlic powder
  • ½ teaspoon Onion powder
  • ½ teaspoon Paprika
  • ½ teaspoon Chili pepper
  • 1 Chicken seasoning cube
  • ½ teaspoon Salt
  • Turkey bones and skin
  • A handful of chopped onion
  • 1 Carrot (sliced)
  • 2 cloves Garlic
  • Half a thumb-sized piece of ginger
  • 3 cups Water
  • ½ Onion
  • ½ Red bell pepper
  • ½ Green bell pepper
  • 1½ Red bell peppers
  • 2 Large tomatoes
  • 1 Habanero
  • 3 cups Rice
  • 1 cup Turkey broth
  • 1 cup Water
  • Pinch of salt
  • 1 tablespoon Oil (for frying the turkey)
  • Onion (for sautéing)
  • 2 cloves Garlic (minced)
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • 1 chicken seasoning cube
  • 1 teaspoon paprika

Instructions

  1. Debone the turkey thighs and cut them into small, even pieces so they cook quickly and stay tender. Set the bones aside for the stock.
  2. Season the turkey with garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, chili pepper, a chicken seasoning cube, and salt. Mix everything in well so the turkey is nicely coated, then cover it and set aside.
  3. Place the reserved turkey bones and skin in a pot with chopped onion, sliced carrot, crushed garlic and ginger, a seasoning cube, salt, and water. Let it boil for about 15 minutes while ensuring it doesn’t dry out.
  4. While the stock simmers, dice up your onions. Blend together red bell peppers, tomatoes, habanero, and half a green pepper until roughly mixed using a food processor.
  5. Once the stock is ready, strain it to keep only the liquid.
  6. Rinse your rice thoroughly. Add it to a pot with one cup of turkey stock, one cup of water, and a pinch of salt. Bring to a boil and cook until soft; fluff once done.
  7. Heat oil in a pan over medium heat. Fry seasoned turkey pieces until cooked through and slightly golden; do this in batches if necessary. Remove from pan once cooked.
  8. In the same pan used for frying turkey pieces, add chopped onions and minced garlic. Fry until fragrant and translucent before adding your blended pepper mix. Season with salt, another seasoning cube, and paprika; let cook for about 8 to 10 minutes.
  9. Add fried turkey pieces along with chopped red and green bell peppers to your sautéed mix. Stir well before adding cooked rice; combine everything thoroughly until heated through.
  10. Serve hot on its own or pair it with sides like ripe fried plantains or chilled coleslaw!
